We live in an era where even the most undiscovered retro games are getting state-of-the-art re-releases, including SEGA CD monstrosities like Night Trap.
And while it didn’t get as much attention as other games at the time, it’s crazy to see Slam City with Scottie Pippen – a first-person FMV basketball game starring the Chicago Bulls tiny forward – announced for PS5 and PS4.
The 1994 original, which will be released in 2026 by Screaming Villains, is essentially like an interactive movie, except that you’re taking part in a one-on-one street basketball game.
Throughout the campaign, you’ll face five opponents, all presented in grainy, full-motion video, including: Fingers, Juice, Mad Dog, Smash, and, of course, Scottie Pippen.
Since this is a joint venture with Limited Run Games, you can expect some crazy physical releases to be announced along with the digital release, with more information expected next year.
We’ve personally never played this game, but we can’t imagine it goes beyond the most basic novelty.
Nevertheless, we are huge fans of preservation, and we mean it Excellent see these little-known titles from the 90s return to state-of-the-art platforms.
